Cisco Wireless :: WAP4410N As Simple Wi-Fi Bridge?
Feb 13, 2011
I have a room cut off from the wired network by concrete walls (there are windows and it's a very short distance). There is a device in that room with a wired network adapter than needs access to the network. We'd like to use a pair of WAP4410N devices to get that room on our wired network over a simple "wireless bridge."
Would the following work?
Connect one WAP4410N normally with WPA2 Personal encryption and connect it to our wired network. Enable repeating of its signal.Set up the "remote" WAP4410N in the "cut off" room. Give it the same SSID and Encryption settings. Enable "Wireless Client Repeater" mode and uncheck the box labeled "Allow wireless station to associate". . . then use its RJ45 network port to connect to the wired device in the room. My biggest concern is the part in bold. Will the network port on the "remote" repeater function like that? So that any devices (or a switch) plugged into it will then be "forwarded along the bridge" to the main/local AP and then onto our network?

I need to replace an ADSL modem and have a spare 857W. Can I use this to act as a simple bridge between the ADSL PPPoA connection and the FW WAN port?
[ CISCO 857W ]
ISP - PPPoA - BRIDGE - FW WAN
I have a block of Public IP's so the PPPoA Dialer 0 connection would get x.x.x.185/29 I would like to bridge this directly to the FW WAN port and set that to x.x.x.185/29 with a gateway of x.x.x.186/32.Currently I am using it in router mode with no NAT or FW and am losing a Public IP as I need to set the FW WAN as x.x.x.186 with a GW of x.x.x.185 I am setting BVI 1 as x.x.x.185/29 and Dialer0 as IP Unnumbered BVI 1.

send me wireless bridge settings for WAP 4410N.
I have purchased two sets of WAP4410N and i need this to connect as wireless bridge to use our external office users(1 or Max 2) which is just beside our office building to surf our internet and retrieve data from our main server.

I ordered a pair of WAP4410N to use as a bridge for a split office. So far they have worked without a hitch but the throughput is less than stellar and I was wondering what the recommended configuration was for best performance (and how much speed could be expected in general) out of these two? [code]
The two nodes are separated by about 25 yards across a parking lot with direct LoS to the other, placed inside a window mounted on the wall -elevated at about 10' so cars in the lot outside do not block visibility. At best the throughput I've seen is 1megabyte/sec, and that seems very slow/clunky to me for the 802.11n specification. Am I missing some setting, updated firmware, or physical setup (AC power instead of PoE for better antenna output maybe?) to have such limited performance?

I have just been escalated to Level 3 support about my bridging issues.Bridge / Repeater mode configuration separated by 150 feet. Worked perfect for over 3 months.Upgraded firmware due to lockups starting to happen, now cant get the bridge / repeater to work longer than 15 min.After MANY support calls, new devices sent (version 2's) still no luck.
Talked to Marcelo at1 866 606 1866 and he stated that the Bridge / Repeater mode will not be supported farther than 50 Feet.(seems like a cop out to me) He didn't seem to have an answer as to why it worked for 3 Months other than interference Of which I have ran spectrum analyzers and see no Interference. **** even 10 feet away I cant get the units to work longer than 15 min.So I definitely think the 50 foot thing is a BS answer.
Also they have told me that External Antennas are not supported with these devices.Again even though People 500 feet away connect just perfect (without a bridge / repeater mode) with 50% coverage!
so here I am (spent 600 bucks) on bricks.. and nobody will support the device and I cant seem to get my money back.I have 8 customers with these devices, I am not going to use Cisco any longer. However will continue to fight this,as we all seem to have the same BS issues.

I have been using WAP4401N for almost a year in our office and I’m very happy of this device, never had any problem. So I bought 3 new ones for our customer which supposed to work in configuration below:
Network ----- AP1 –Bridge mode ----- AP2 – Bridge mode -----AP3 – Access Point mode.
Everything was working perfectly fine to the moment than bridge was broken. I can get access to all AP (obviously when connected to proper part of network) however not able to ping from AP2 -> AP1 or opposite so basically no link between AP1 and AP2. After reboot everything is working fine to next time (happens twice in two days). When I go to System Performance can see Connection is enabled but doesn’t work.
I upgraded firmware to latest version (2.0.5.3) but haven’t worked. When I’ve done some research found many users having similar problem with this device and basically they recommend to don’t buy. Unfortunately this is not an option for me as I’ve already purchased them.

I want to make a bridge with 2 WAP4410N access points.But what is the totaly distance that the access point can make to have an good connection in an open area?
So example:one WAP4410N in a house (near a window) and the other in a house (near a window) and the 2 houses lie 200 meters of each other. Is this possible?
If it is not possible with this access points, what is then an option/possibility ?

I have the following equipment:
Cisco 871W router
2x WAP 4410N APs running 2.0.3.3
I currently have 1 AP connected to the router via copper. The AP to AP link is over 802.11. I have attached a diagram reflecting the current topology.
The AP-to-AP link will come up utilizing B/G/N mixed mode; however, the connection is basically unusable. About 30% of the traffic is dropped, while the packets that do make it have a consistently volatile latency, anywhere from 15 to 1500 ms. I have had success using G-only and B/G mixed. The link is stable (I have had the best results with B/G). The problem is, I didn't buy the 2nd 4410N to run the G protocol. I would like to connect the APs running either B/G/N (hopefully negotiating to N) or N only. I am wondering if there is a certain configuration I can utilize (perhaps using WDS repeater or bridge versus Wireless Client/Repeater?), or a firmware upgrade set for release that can make this happen for me.

Have a Linksys E-3000 router and a WAP-4410N which I wish to configure as a repeater to extend network coverage. E-3000 IP has been changed to 10.10.1.1. How do I do it ? What do I connect to what in order to configure the WAP-4410N to new settings? It will of course be located remotely from the router. At this time network consists of a main PC and 2 wireless laptops. I have read the manual and it doesn't answer the above described situation.

if you bring your new firmware, please verify the small bug in 'Time Settings': If you choose CET (GMT +1h) AND enable 'daylights saving time' the time goes back 6 hours instead of forward 1 hour.Firmware of RV120W: 1.0.1.3
I'm surprised that CISCO needs such a long time to solve such an issue... I thought I bought the new router from a leading network provider

I will be building my own computer here in the next month and am looking to become quite informed about building my own wireless network.Trouble is, I'm a bit out of to with what I need and what is good. I'm also officially tired of renting a modem from Comcast (bastards keep bumping my monthly rate up). So what pieces of equipment do I need to build a simple quality wireless network for my home? I would like the network to support two laptops, one desktop, and an Xbox plugged into a LAN line. Also, I'm thinking of using a Rosewill Wirelss Adapter 3 antenna [URL].

I've been using WRT320N few days now and I am happy with it so far! It's not overheated as many people reported and performance is also great (wifi as well as gigabit ports). I tested all functions (NAT, Advanced Wireless Settings, Port Forwarding, Access Restrictions...) - all working great, but I am little stuck on the easiest one - configure it temporarily as regular gigabit switch with an IP address: I put my WAN cable and LAN cables in the 1-4 ethernet ports. NAT, DHCP and Firewall are disabled in the router. I have DHCP server in my network that is assigning IP addresses based on MAC address. In "Setup" > "Basic Setup" > "Router IP" I would like to set up automatic configuration - DHCP, but it is not possible, so I just type the same IP address that It should get from the DHCP server (in this case 10.109.249.42). Does all 1-4 ethernet ports have the same MAC address (in this case 00:25:9C:4D:16:86)? Everything is working fine, my computer's IP addresses are succesfully assigned (as well as wifi devices) from DHCP server in my network, but I feel like WRT320N's address is not assigned - the problem is I can't connect to router's administration under http://10.109.249.42. There is no IP restrictions for remote management.

I need to configure ADSL on my 837 Router with simple configuration. The WAN IP address is dynamic from my ISP. I checked many websites and found different configurations everywhere. I don't know which is best suited for me. I used SDM and configured ADSL. When i checked the configuration from console i found that there is atm0.2 and dialer 2 configured with my settings. I cannot understand what is the purpose of atm0.2 and dialer 2 when atm0 and dialer0 are there. Is there a doc on ADSL config on 837?

I've tried setting up some simple port forwarding on my ASA, where I want to forward one port on the external interface for both UDP and TCP to the same port on an internal server.
It works fine for UDP, but all TCP packets are dropped on the outside interface, even though the configuration for UDP and TCP is basically the same! This is my config:
object network MY_SERVER
host 10.10.1.4
object service TCP_MY_SERVICE
[Code].....
Port count goes up on line 2 (UDP) but never for line 1. I just see the packet denied instead. Same thing happens in the packet tracer, a packet destined for my external interface on that port for UDP is allowed and NAT'd just fine. TCP it gets dropped by the ACL on the outside interface.

I am trying to find out if its possible to use an existing CISCO 2940 Switch that we have here at our office as a hub? Im sure that borders on insane however, let me break down what we have currently and what I'd like to do.
We currently have a very nice setup here at work, with no problems whatsoever, however; we hired a new person and brought in some new printers and we are running out of wall jacks. Rather then run all new cabling and adding new outlets/faceplates etc... We were just gonna go purchase a simple Netgear 5 port switch/hub from the Local Comp store here in town. We found in our server room a what appears to fully functional and operational cisco 2940 8 Port Switch with a Gigabit port.
All IPs in the office are assigned via DHCP, so....on to the meat of my question -- I tried to plug this into our network and I can't get any connectivity out at all. All the ports light up green etc when I plug in the comps but they aren't pulling valid IPs.
I want to reset this thing and start from the ground up, I am not scared of going into the IOS and modifying what needs to be done...as long as I got a good enough walk through.

I would like to create 3 x VLANs on an SG 300-28P and have them completely isolated from each other, for example ports 1 - 12 on VLAN 1, ports 13 - 24 on VLAN 2 and ports 25 - 28 on VLAN 3. No communication between any of the VLANs.
Any simplest way to achieve this?

is it possible with LMS 4.0 to do a simple reachability test for an IP address not based on device?The ip address I want to check for reacheability is not the management ip address I add in Inventory->Device Administration->Add->Device Properties->IP Address For example: I want to test the reachabilty of the IP-address 10.113.15.4, not management ip, it shall be an interface ip address.With the performance monitoring I want to test the reachability, if it fails continuously 2 times I want to get a notification with an low severity.After 6 continuously fails of the reachability test I want to get a notification with an medium severity and in the end after 12 continuously fails of the reachability test I want to get a notification with an criticaclc severity. The threshold configuration and the threshold criteria should not be the problem,the problem is where do/can I enter the corresponding ip address I want to test.

I would like to setup a simple VPN on a small network, nothing special, just to provide access to some simple resources on the network from anywhere. Since I'm not a Cisco expert, I was advised to user a 861 router, but I just can't seem to get the VPN working on this device.
I've placed the router behind a modem and did some basic configuration. Hosts who are connected to the modem (on the Vlan side) can access the internet and can setup a VPN connection to the router. A VPN connection from inside the network is worthless, but I just can't get the VPN working on the FastEthernet4 connection.
Any VPN config for a 861 router for this situation? Or how to configure this device as a VPN server?

I`m trying to get a simple VRF and routing setup going.The "routers" are Cisco C3750G-12S-E.What I want to do is separate the management network form all else.The public network is illustrated with private IP ranges, these are really public ranges.
I think the best way to solve this will be using VRF for management, and regular routing for public network, right? Putting the management network in it`s own VRF.

I'm new to routing and cisco in general. I'm inheriting a rather simple setup but would like to approach the next steps with a good strategy. Currently we have a 2901 router with public IP's on bother interfaces. The internal facing interface is our gateway for some webservers and a firewall. Not we are looking to add a colocation site and establish a site to site VPN using another 2901. My goal is to have the colocation use the same internal 10.100.0.0/23 network. My question is what is the best way of going about this since the router at the main site has public IP's on both interfaces? Do I need to multi-home the internal facing interface? If so, what else needs to be done?

Well, I sent mine back and they shafted me with a v1 unit.I don't see how you can know what the problem is and still send me a v1 unit.
I contacted SB support and they said no guarantees on getting a v2 unit.
Now I must PAY to send another unit back.With no guarantees, I don't know.

I know the general difference between a router and a switch, but after considerable reading I'm unable to determine if I could just use a switch for my pretty simple specific application.
Here are the two devices I need to setup on my network (connections would be wired, both devices in close proximity): (1) computer running windows2k with 100mbps ethernet card (has software firewall installed) (1) blue ray player for streaming netflix videos
Because I don't have any computers on the network communicating with each other, based on what I've read it seems possible to just connect a switch to my cable modem instead of using a router.
